I had to get all my shopping done for the weekend and gameday festivities early because of an impending snow storm here in Colorado. We're supposed to get 16 - 30 inches in the next couple of days and not get above freezing for over a week. Brrrrrrrrrrsies!!

Well, I did some math... and Dear Hubby and I have shared approximately 3,000 breakfasts together. And this weekend (this recipe) he said was the best breakfast I've ever made...in 8 years of marriage. Those are high compliments, especially since this meal was a bit of a breakfast experiment.
